Filing # 185769650 E-Filed 11/08/2023 04:16:05 PM MATRIX FINANCIAL SERVICES | IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE CORPORATION SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PLAINTIFF, PASCO COUNTY, FLORIDA — CIVIL DIVISION VS. CASE NO.: 2023CA003662CAAXWS CHRISTOPHER D. WILSON, NATALIE M. FELIA ET AL., DEFENDANTS. PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE Plaintiff Matrix Financial Services Corporation, by and through the undersigned counsel and pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.510 (a), moves this Court for summary judgment, and says: Summary of Argument This is a residential mortgage foreclosure action. There is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Florida Law Rule 1.510 (a) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure provides in relevant part as follows The court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The court shall state on the record the reasons for granting or denying the motion. The summary judgment standard provided in this rule shall be construed and applied in accordance with the federal summary judgment standard. The Federal Summary Judgment Standard Rule 56 (a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides in relevant part as follows: A party may move for summary judgment [or for partial summary judgment], identifying each claim or defense — or the part of each claim or defense — on which summary judgment is sought. The court shall grant 23FL404-0021 Electronically Filed Pasco Case # 2023CA003662CAAXWS 11/08/2023 04:16:05 PM summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law... Under this rule, summary judgment is appropriate “if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). The parties may support their positions by citation(s) to the record, including depositions, documents, affidavits, or declarations. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 (c). An issue is genuine only if “a reasonable trier of fact could return judgment for the non-moving party.” Miccosukee Tribe of Indians v. United States, 516 F.3d 1235, 1243 (11th Cir. 2008) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986)); Burgos v. Chertoff, 274 F. App’x 839, 841 (11th Cir. 2008) (citation omitted). A fact is material only if it “might affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law.” Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, 516 F. 3d at 1243 (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48; Burgos, 274 F. App’x at 841 (citation omitted). A movant must present evidence demonstrating that it can establish the basic elements of its claim. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322. The party seeking summary judgment always bears the initial responsibility of informing the ... court of the basis for its motion, and identifying those portions of the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, which it believes demonstrate the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Id. at 323. (internal citations omitted). However, the moving party is not required to support its motion with affidavits or other similar material that negate the opponent’s claim. Jd. Once the moving party has met its initial burden, the non-movant must “go beyond the pleadings” and show that there is a genuine issue for trial. Jd. at 324; see also Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 56 (c) (1). The inferences to be drawn from the underlying facts must be viewed in the light 23FL404-0021 most favorable to the party opposing the motion. See Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 158-59 (1970). To avoid summary judgment, the nonmoving party “must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts.” Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986). “Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandates the entry of summary judgment against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of every element essential to that party’s case on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial.” Berkner v. Bell Helmets, Inc., 822 F. Supp. 721, 722 (N.D. Ga. 1993). The court’s function “at summary judgment is not ‘to weigh the evidence and determine the truth of the matter but to determine whether there is a genuine issue for trial.’” Tolan v. Cotton, 572 U.S. 650, 656 (2014) (per curiam) (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249); Gross v. S. Ry. Co., 414 F.2d 292, 297 (Sth Cir. 1969). However, the court is not required to accept all of the non-movant’s factual characterizations and legal arguments. Beal v. Paramount Pictures Corp., 20 F.3d 454, 458-59 (11th Cir. 1994). Summary judgment should be denied only if a genuine issue of fact remains for trial. See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 56 (a). “Summary judgment [ ] is properly regarded not as a disfavored procedural shortcut, but rather as an integral part of the Federal Rules as a whole, which are designed “to secure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action.” Celotex, 477 U.S. at 327. Statement of Undisputed Facts On or about July 13, 2020, Defendants Natalie M. Felia and Christopher D. Wilson executed a promissory note (the “Note”) made payable to United Wholesale Mortgage. See Affidavit of Indebtedness (“AOI”) attached hereto as Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. On or about the same date, Defendants Natalie M. Felia and Christopher D. Wilson (the “Mortgagors”) executed a mortgage securing payment of the note to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as mortgagee, as nominee for United Wholesale Mortgage, its successors and assigns (the “Mortgage”). See Exhibit “1” and 23FL404-0021 corroborating exhibit(s) thereto. The Mortgage was recorded in the Official Records Book 10136, Pages 1811 of the Public Records of Pasco County, Florida, and mortgaged the property described therein (the “Property”). See Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. The Note and Mortgage have not been modified. Plaintiff is the owner and/or holder of the original Note secured by the Mortgage. See Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. The property is owned by Natalie M. Felia and Christopher D. Wilson. Plaintiff’s Mortgage lien on the Property is superior to the interests of all other parties to this action. There has been a default under the Note in that the payment due December 1, 2022, and all subsequent payments have not been made. See Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. Upon filing the Complaint in this action, Plaintiff declared the full amount due under the Note to be due and payable upon filing, except to any extent any part of that amount is or would be subject to a statute of limitations or statute of repose defense. 10. All conditions precedent to this action have occurred, been satisfied, or been waived. See Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. 11 There is now due and owing the Plaintiff a total of $279,506.89 plus interest accruing since the date of the AOI, as well as reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. See Exhibit “1” and corroborating exhibits thereto. 12 Plaintiff has obligated itself to pay its attorneys a reasonable fee for their services and to reimburse the attorneys for their taxable costs and is therefore entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs pursuant to the terms of the Note and Mortgage. See Exhibit “1” at paragraph nine (9). 13 In the event a Defendant has filed a petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court or has received a discharge in bankruptcy, Plaintiff does not seek a deficiency judgment or any other claim for money due under the Note. Said Defendant(s) were/are joined in this action solely to foreclose any interest the Defendant(s) may have in the Property secured by the Mortgage. 23FL404-0021 Conclusion WHEREFORE, Plaintiff asks this Court to grant this Motion for Final Summary Judgment or, in the alternative to full summary judgment, to specify on the record what genuine dispute(s) of material fact remain(s) for trial.

BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $275,500.00 (this amount is called "Principai"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is UNITED WHOLESALE MORTGAGE IT will make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order. T understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder." 2. INTEREST Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. 1 will pay interest at a yearly rate of 2.999 %. The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in Section 6(B) of this Note. 3. PAYMENTS (A) Time and Place of Payments 1 will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month. I will make my monthly payment on the 4st day of each month beginning on SEPTEMBER 1 . 2020 .

However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.
